There are so many reasons to miss MTV in the '90s: Singled Out, The Grind, outdated pre-millennial concepts like Idalis DeLeon -- but most of all, we miss Daria, the fabulous spinoff of Beavis & Butthead about a teenage cynic who weathers the pangs of others' stupidity and resorts to sarcasm in order to survive high school.
